Hi,

Just add these lines inside showtree function.

for (i = 0; i < tree.dataProvider.length; i ++){
tree.expandChildrenOf(tree.dataProvider[i], true)
}

Hope this helps...

What are the RSL URLs you are using? Flex Builder will copy the RSLs it finds 
in your {sdk}/frameworks/rsls directory to the bin-debug directory. The rsls 
will be renamed to match the RSL URLs in your project settings.

Re: [flexcoders] Weborb

[Jeffry Houser]

WebORB is caught somewhere between what is built into BlazeDS and the 
Full LiveCycle if I understand correctly.  It is


I have had very good experiences the NET version.  I'm not sure if I 
would consider it for ColdFusion use; however it does not look like 
their CF version has been released yet.  I thought that the CF version 
would work w/ BlueDragon.  Perhaps in the future they'll make it work w/ 
Railo and other alternatives.


W/ the .NET version we licensed it OEM to bundle with an AIR 
application and it was significantly cheaper to do that than to use CF.


Code Generation in WebORB is much different than the CF Extensions in 
Flex Builder if memory serves me.  It supports Framework specific code 
generations.


Also supports push functionality; can CF do that? 


If you just need AMF, I don't think WebORB offers you anything.

Re: [flexcoders] Change DataGrid Columns

[Wesley Acheson]

Okay well the reason I thought it may be the case was each column added
takes just that little bit longer. After 20 or so columns it can take maybe
1.5 seconds.

The DG has a horizontal scroll policy of on.  If thats what you mean by
columns have to shift.  Also I noticed that columns are shifting because
they were ordered by column name and my add column button was naming the
columns data filed. col1 col2 etc so after 10 there was switching occuring.

Also the way I set the columns array is as follows.

dg.columns = [];
dg.columns = myColumnArrayVariable.

This is because changes to the columns array don't seem to be picked up
unless set to a different array first.

Wes

the there is only one item in the list then
the height of the item will be 100% of list height,

So the height of the list item should be

How can I do that?

[flexcoders] allow user to upload files (maybe to Amazon S3)

[tom s]

I'm planning to add 'file upload' functionality to my flex app, which will
let users upload files from their machines to a server.
I have a rough plan (below) which I'd like to sanity check before I
implement it, and ask "is there a better way"...?

Requirements
===
1. Any signed-in user can upload a file
2. All uploaded files cannot be read nor deleted by any user (read and
delete only by admin)
3. Needs to be able to handle fairly big files (1-100 MB)
4. Doesn't expose my storage server to anonymous uploads

I currently use Google App Engine as the backend for the rest of my app, but
it is not friendly towards big files, so that is a no go for this.
So I'm thinking of using Amazon S3, as follows:

a. user selects file
b. construct request string
c. send request string to GAE server, which returns my signature for that
request (means that my secret key must reside on GAE, but not in the SWF)
d. send signed request to Amazon S3.

Questions


1. Is there a better way / better service?
2. Am i right to be paranoid about no putting my secret key in the SWF?
3. Does this sounds like a sensible solution? Anyone tried such a thing?

thanks

tom

The GC is not called when  the component is remove from the screen.

Most people think this occurs,  but it's not truth.

The GC is called when its required, but WHEN it is  required is another point.

If you are using just a small piece of your  available mamory, don't expect the 
GC to be  called.

I've been working on optimizing an AIR application I'm currently  working

ModelLocator data items.

What I'm seeing during profiling that  removing a module from the display
list doesn't seem to result in the  module being GC'ed. I'm suspecting
binding between the ModelLocator and  the module's controls are causing
the behavior.

[flexcoders] XML Editor component using Tree control?

[douglas_mccarroll]

Hi All,

As you know, the Tree control can use an XML object as its
dataProvider. I'd like to be able to drag and drop items in my Tree to
rearrange the nodes in my source XML. The Tree doesn't natively do
this - it acts as a view and leaves its XML model untouched - which
makes sense in the vast majority of applications.

But in my case I want to modify the model. The requirements are fairly
simple - reordering of XML nodes only - no other editing of content.

I don't think that it will be hard to write this, but I'm wondering if
it's out there, already written.

Have any of you heard of such a component?

Thanks,

Douglas

RE: [flexcoders] Modules, Cairngorm and Garbage Collection

[Battershall, Jeff]

Thanks Pedro,
 
As I said in my previous post, I'm also wondering about the effect of a
module's component consuming a dataprovider via binding to a singleton
object and the possibility of that preventing GC.  I guess this touches
on the whole issue of best practices of using ModelLocator with modules.
PureMVC has it's 'Pipes' utility to inject data objects into a module,
but I'm using Cairngorm and I'm wondering how something similar could be
achieved with that framework.

If you are using just a small piece of your available mamory,

RE: [flexcoders] Modules, Cairngorm and Garbage Collection

[Battershall, Jeff]

Thanks Claudiu,
 
I'm using the ModelLocator as a storehouse for data providers, etc.
required by the Module.  But as the ModelLocator is a singleton, and
would 'survive' the life of the module, that references to the module's
components from the data provider might prevent GC.  
 
The scenario I observed was when the user logs out, all active modules
are unloaded, but when they log back in again, the memory consumption
just jumps right up.  But you are right - I have embedded CSS in the
module! - That could be my smoking gun!

RE: [flexcoders] HTML in the List Component?

[Alex Harui]

If you start with ListItemRenderer, you definitely have to kill the code that 
will set the textfield's text property during the handshake with the List via 
the data/listData properties.  But once you do that, it should measure 
correctly.  I'd probably make a copy of ListItemRenderer instead of 
subclassing, and replace setting .text with setting .htmlText

The issue is not labelFunction, it just returns a string.  It is what the 
renderer does with that string.

 Based on my recent experience w/ this; I gave up trying to display HTML Text

).

 In theory, setting ListItemRenderer. label.htmlText should work  In practice, 
it always reverted to 'normal' text when displayed in the context of a list.  I 
built my own itemRenderer using a label and that addressed my issue.

 I ran into this issue while building the Flextras AutoCompleteComboBo x.  The 
ComboBox drop down is just a list, for those that haven't cracked open the 
code.  The AutoComplete will support highlighting in the drop down, based on 
the filter text.  All baked right in. I'll be sending the next beta to beta

Re: [flexcoders] Using cairngorm for "push" events

[claudiu ursica]

First thing first it depends how fast you want to poll your server for data. As 
you probably know the browser only allows you to have 2 connections ... You 
might run into issues if your polling again and again in seconds. We have 
something similar and decided to make our own ServiceManager class which uses 2 
HTTPService instances and manages  the concurrency for the 2 connections. So 
when you make a request the service manager schedules that request and when it 
has the service avalable is doing the request ... We are still using commands, 
but not delegates anymore. The HTTPService handles the results and parses the 
data through some unmarshaller classes into the model ... It is not the 
greatest separtion of concerns but since we are polling the hell out of the 
server we hit serveral tomeouts due to bad request schedulling ...

Traditionaly with cairngorm after you get the data dreom the server you 
populate the model and update the view through bindings. You can hav an message 
mechanism and trigger it directly form the model, or dispatching events handled 
by commands. As far as the indicator goes the same thing ... use a preloader 
with alternate set to true inside the message view or somewhere  show when 
make request, hide when result or fault ...

The topic is 2 large to tackle in 2 paragraphs but if you need further info 
senf a private msg ...

Cheers,
Claudiu

I am using cairngorm on my current project and I have run into a couple issues 
which I am having trouble dealing with through Cairngorm. Hopefully someone can 
help.

1) I have an event loop which is polling my web service for events. Where would 
be the best place to run this event loop and what would be a good way of 
notifying the view to "do something"? There might be very little data, so it 
might be something like popping an alert or popping a toast notification. 
..it's not something I can do through databinding and cairngorm seems to throw 
out the whole concept of the model notifying the view through events (this 
design decision is something I don't really understand). 

2) I want to make a request, and show a loading indicator while the request is 
pending, and then show a confirmation with the result of hte request. Similar 
requests are being made in different parts of the application, but they all 
consist of making the request, showing a wait indicator, and then showing a 
confirmation. Again, some suggestions on how to handle this would be 
appreciated.

Thanks

That's not an officially supported configuration.  Some folks get it to work,

 Also, don't use Flex 3.2.  It has bugs related to this configuration.  Use 3.3

Hi,

I have a flex application working fine, but i need to load it into a flash swf 
and it is giving me a lot of trouble.

I get a really strange behavior: my mouse doesn't shows anymore (although i'm 
not changing cursors), remote object's calls doesn't load anymore and tooltips 
don't show.

I think it is happening because, once my flex app is loaded in flash, the 
"root" isn't anymore Application.application.

But i don't have any idea of how to fix it, actually, i wonder if the fix would 
it be in flash or flex...i tried to fix in both, but so far i couldn't reach a 
solution.

Is there a solution for it? Can you point me where to try?

You can check the "normal call" to flex app here:
http://carvalhar.com [working fine]

And here is the problem, where i try to load in flash swf::
http://carvalhar.com/swf/preloader.swf

PS:
my flash loader is pretty simple:
import flash.events.Event;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(Stage.path ? Stage.path : '/swf/meusite.swf'));
this.addChild(loader);
stop();

And this is one of the errors (in flex, after loaded):

DG update mechanism is row-based.  If you add a column other columns' sizes 
will likely be affected.  How are you adding a column such that the DG wouldn't 
get wider or columns have to shift?

I'd make sure the expensive renderer is optimized as much as possible.  Make 
sure you don't do updates if values don't change.

Subject: [flexcoders] Change DataGrid Columns


I'm hoping that someone would be able to help me with this.

Is it possible in theory to subclass DataGrid to add and remove columns in such 
a way that not all the columns are invalidated?  Basically I've got an 
ItemRenderer which is quite expensive, Changing all the item renderers doesn't 
make sense.

I'm guessing that the add column would need to add something to columnMap and 
freeItemRenderersTable although as far as I can see neither of these seem to be 
used within the DataGridClass, and I would have to stop the 
columnRendererChanged property from changing for existing columns.

Anyone able to help or point me in the correct direction?

[flexcoders] framework RSL deployment problem

[Dana]

Hi guys.

I have a weird RSL deployment problem on JBoss 4.0.5GA.

I'm using framework 3.2.0.3958 as a signed RSL for one of my apps.
If I build the app using FlexBuilder, it runs beautifully.
If I compile it from the command line (my build server) using the swz/swf RSLs 
from my FlexBuilder output, firstly the .swz file fails to load, I then get a 
digest mismatch error when the swf failover is loaded.

However, if I then download the flex.war from my server, unzip it, overwrite 
the swz/swf in the war file with the FlexBuilder swz/swf files (these are the 
SAME files as I packaged up in the flex.war file!) zip it back up and push it 
back to the server, it runs fine.

I'm at a complete loss to explain this since I've been ultra careful to ensure 
that the same swf/swz/framework.swc files have been used to compile both the 
FlexBuilder and the build server apps.
I even compared the digests generated by each build using the -keep option. 
They're identical.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: which one is better to use?

[Tracy Spratt]

To get the client side performance benefit, *strongly typed objects* are
critical.  An arrayCollection of dynamic objects will not be ideal.

Of course there are a lot of variable in performance questions.  In my
experience, data transport and in-memory processing are far smaller factors
in the user experience than UI rendering.

Certainly the ideal data transport architecture is RemoteObject, using amf
to pass strongly typed objects.  But that is significantly more difficult
than passing around XML.  

If you choose to use XML, then you can derive the client-side performance
benefits by using the XML to build an ArrayCollection of strongly typed VOs.

If performance is a consideration, never use resultFormat="object" (the
default)

I would agree 100%.  In my tests XML is a lot slower to use and is
especially seen when there are a large amount of rows being returned.  If
this is over the Internet then I would for sure use arrayCollection.  XML is
a very "wordy" structure and probably increases the amount of data being
transfered by 30-50%.

I have found that using an arrayCollection of typed objects is much faster
for me. I don't have the overhead of the XML parser. It tends to depend on
the amount of data being returned. In some of my cases I am returning 5,000+
rows of data. With typed objects this is around 175KB over the pipe. With
XML it was over 5MB.

Hi all,

I am creating a custom component and I need to know the size of the component 
after the properties have changed. To my knowledge the best way to handle this 
is to fire invalidateProperties() and and invalidateSize() after I set the data 
of the component.

My code below outlines my strategy thus far for attempting this. However, 
measure() never gets fired, so I am unsure what I am missing here.

Also, to be clear, I have attempted to override commitProperties() and 
updateDisplayList() with the same results. To be clear, the setter is running 
and stops at my break point. Examining the data object indicates the data is 
being set properly.

[Bindable]
override public function set data(obj:Object):void {
super.data = obj;
invalidateProperties();
invalidateSize();
invalidateDisplayList();
}

override protected function measure():void {
super.measure();
dispatchEvent(new 
PropertyInfoWindowCustomContentEvent(PropertyInfoWindowCustomContentEvent.PROPERTY_TILE_LOADED,
 data.ccProperty, true));
}

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a flex application working fine, but i need to load it into a flash
swf and it is giving me a lot of trouble.

I get a really strange behavior: my mouse doesn't shows anymore (although
i'm not changing cursors), remote object's calls doesn't load anymore and
tooltips don't show.

I think it is happening because, once my flex app is loaded in flash, the
"root" isn't anymore Application.application.

But i don't have any idea of how to fix it, actually, i wonder if the fix
would it be in flash or flex...i tried to fix in both, but so far i couldn't
reach a solution.

Is there a solution for it? Can you point me where to try?

You can check the "normal call" to flex app here:
http://carvalhar.  com [working fine]

And here is the problem, where i try to load in flash swf::
http://carvalhar. 
com/swf/preloader.swf

PS:
my flash loader is pretty simple:
import flash.events.Event;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(Stage.path ? Stage.path : '/swf/meusite.swf'));
this.addChild(loader);
stop();

And this is one of the errors (in flex, after loaded):
TypeError: Error #1009: Não é possível acessar uma propriedade ou um método

RE: [flexcoders] Custom Classes and Custom Events

[Tracy Spratt]

Understand that "custom event" has two different meanings.  You can create a
true custom event, a class of your own that extends Event, as you have
posted.  You would do that if you need to package up some data in the event
object itself.

 

But you can also apply a custom type name to a standard Event object:

dispatchEvent(new Event("myCustomTypeName"));

 

myCustomComp.addEventListener("myCustomTypeName", myCustomTypeHandler)

 

If you need data in the event handler, you can access any public property in
the dispatching object by using the reference returned by target or
currentTarget.  This second approach is much simpler that creating a custom
event class.

Private function myCustomTypeHandler(event:Event):void

 Var someData:String = event.currentTarget.myPublicProperty;

.

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom Classes and Custom Events

 

Hi all,

The last couple of weeks I wrote my first application in Flex. Today I want
to refactor it, meaning : using custom classes and custom events.

I have following :

I created an application with a couple of buttons and with a custom
component (myCustomComp)  in it. This custom component is based on a Vbox an
contains :
 - an HBox (mySearchbar) with a textfield and button
 - a datagrid which contains data from a database
 - an HBox (myToolbar) with a button and a label 

The buttons are used for adding, modifying and deleteing records of the
database. SO I was thinking of creating a custom event (myCustomEvent).

The code I have so far is following :

package events {
 
 import flash.events.Event;
 
 public class myCustomEvent extends Event {
   
public function SpellEvent(type:String) {
 super(type);
}
  
   override public function clone():Event{
var evt:myCustomEvent = new myCustomEvent(type);
return evt;
}
  
 }
 
}

I was thinking of adding event listners to my buttons. For example my button
to add a new record will have a addRecordEventListener. In this listener I
create a new instance of myCustEvent and pass my new record as a parameter.
The same I will do with my button to delete a record.

My question is where and how I should make the difference between the 2
operations.
I suppose I have to create a new instance of my event and besides my new
record I also need to pass the type of operation : something like new
myCustomEvent(newRecord, "addRecord") or new myCustomEvent(newRecord,
"deleteRecord"). But in this case, how do I process the different
operations?

I'm lost and hoping for a clear answer.

Thanks

 Based on my recent experience w/ this; I gave up trying to display
HTML Text in a list using the default itemRenderer ( ListItemRenderer
if memory serves me ).  

 In theory, setting ListItemRenderer. label.htmlText should work  In
practice, it always reverted to 'normal' text when displayed in the
context of a list.  I built my own itemRenderer using a label and that
addressed my issue.  

 I ran into this issue while building the Flextras
AutoCompleteComboBo x.  The ComboBox drop down is just a list, for those
that haven't cracked open the code.  The AutoComplete will support

right in. I'll be sending the next beta to beta testers in a few
hours.

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable SampleDataEvent is not defined.

It is thrown in the first instance where we are referencing the
SampleDataEvent class:

addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, sampleDataRequestHandler);

I get no compile-time error.  I have an import statement of import
flash.events.SampleDataEvent;  The project does reference other libraries
and I have made sure they are all using the same SDK (I've tried both 3.2
and 3.3), however they do have SWCs in them that may have been built using
an older SDK.  My co-worker is able to run the project without any error
being thrown and I have actually copied the SDKs from his machine to my
machine and it hasn't made any difference.  I HAVE re-installed Flex Builder
since the last time the project worked for me.

I've tried everything I can think of to no avail.  Does anyone have any
ideas of what might be going on?

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Classes and Custom Events

[valdhor]

For a start you are going to need a constructor. You will also need
member properties for the items you want to add to the event..

package events
{
  import flash.events.Event;

  public class recordEvent extends Event
{
 public static const RECORD_EVENT:String = "recordEvent";
 public var record:myRecordObject;
 public var action:String;

  public function recordEvent(type:String, record:myRecordObject,
action:String, bubbles:Boolean=true, cancelable:Boolean=true)
//Constructor
 {
super(type);
this.record = record;
this.action = action;
 }

 override public function clone():Event
 {
   return new recordEvent(type, record, action, bubbles,
cancelable);
 }
   }
}

For a new event of your type...

dispatchEvent(new recordEvent(recordEvent.RECORD_EVENT, myRecord,
"delete"));

And for an eventListener you can use...

addEventListener(recordEvent.RECORD_EVENT, onRecordEvent);

private function onRecordEvent(event:recordEvent):void
{
 var action:String = event.action;
 var record:myRecordObject = event.record;
}

NB: Typed off the top of my head so may have mistakes. Generally, I
would use private member variables with getters and setters but this
should give you a starting point.

[flexcoders] Using cairngorm for "push" events

[Osman Ullah]

I am using cairngorm on my current project and I have run into a couple issues 
which I am having trouble dealing with through Cairngorm. Hopefully someone can 
help.

1) I have an event loop which is polling my web service for events. Where would 
be the best place to run this event loop and what would be a good way of 
notifying the view to "do something"? There might be very little data, so it 
might be something like popping an alert or popping a toast notification...it's 
not something I can do through databinding and cairngorm seems to throw out the 
whole concept of the model notifying the view through events (this design 
decision is something I don't really understand). 

2) I want to make a request, and show a loading indicator while the request is 
pending, and then show a confirmation with the result of hte request. Similar 
requests are being made in different parts of the application, but they all 
consist of making the request, showing a wait indicator, and then showing a 
confirmation. Again, some suggestions on how to handle this would be 
appreciated.

That method isn't listed in the LiveDocs. What makes you think it should 
work ?

Why not create your Accordian using MXML ?
If you insist on using AS though, you'll need to create each child element, 
and then call
a.addChild( childElement );
for each one.

[flexcoders] Modules, Cairngorm and Garbage Collection

[Battershall, Jeff]

I've been working on optimizing an AIR application I'm currently working
on that utilizes modules. In the modules there are controls bound to
ModelLocator data items.

What I'm seeing during profiling that removing a module from the display
list doesn't seem to result in the module being GC'ed. I'm suspecting
binding between the ModelLocator and the module's controls are causing
the behavior.  

Has anyone seen this and can suggest approaches to address this?

[flexcoders] measure() not fired after calling invalidateSize()?

[TJ Downes]

Hi all,

I am creating a custom component and I need to know the size of the component 
after the properties have changed. To my knowledge the best way to handle this 
is to fire invalidateProperties() and and invalidateSize() after I set the data 
of the component. 

My code below outlines my strategy thus far for attempting this. However, 
measure() never gets fired, so I am unsure what I am missing here. 

Also, to be clear, I have attempted to override commitProperties() and 
updateDisplayList() with the same results. To be clear, the setter is running 
and stops at my break point. Examining the data object indicates the data is 
being set properly.


[Bindable]
override public function set data(obj:Object):void {
super.data = obj;
invalidateProperties();
invalidateSize();
invalidateDisplayList();
}

override protected function measure():void {
super.measure();
dispatchEvent(new 
PropertyInfoWindowCustomContentEvent(PropertyInfoWindowCustomContentEvent.PROPERTY_TILE_LOADED,
 data.ccProperty, true));
}


Thanks!
TJ Downes

[flexcoders] Change DataGrid Columns

[Wesley Acheson]

I'm hoping that someone would be able to help me with this.

Is it possible in theory to subclass DataGrid to add and remove columns in
such a way that not all the columns are invalidated?  Basically I've got an
ItemRenderer which is quite expensive, Changing all the item renderers
doesn't make sense.

I'm guessing that the add column would need to add something to columnMap
and freeItemRenderersTable although as far as I can see neither of these
seem to be used within the DataGridClass, and I would have to stop the
columnRendererChanged property from changing for existing columns.

Anyone able to help or point me in the correct direction?

Wes

Re: [flexcoders] Custom Classes and Custom Events

[Ken Dunnington]

Take a look at some of the classes in the mx.events.* package. Generally,
your custom events will have static constants to enumerate the possible
values for 'type', i.e.
public static const ADD_RECORD:String = "addRecordEvent";
public static const DELETE_RECORD:String = "deleteRecordEvent";

To attach data to an event, for example the record to delete, you would have
a property on the event.

public var record:RecordVO;

Then, in your button's click handler, you would create a new instance of
your custom event, attach the record you want to act on to it, and dispatch
it. If you want to keep your components more loosely coupled (and you
should) you would have your buttons announce an event simply stating "Delete
the currently selected record" and have your business logic located
elsewhere that would figure out what record to delete (ex. the currently
selected item in the datagrid.)

For a simple app, and since you're just getting started, you could place the
listeners in your top-level Application MXML file. Have it subscribe to the
DELETE_RECORD etc. events on the buttons, and act accordingly. Again, when
you get further along, you'll want to move this business logic elsewhere,
but I'll leave that up to you :)

HTH,

RE: [flexcoders] Custom Classes and Custom Events

[Scott]

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do but I would create two different 
events for those functions if events are truly needed.
 
Also, I would recommend extending the Validator class for your spellcheck (I 
think I've seen a spellcheck class out there somewhere).
 
Depending on what you are trying to do, it may be overkill to use events to 
process the information.  In my code, I write components/classes around a site 
function or table in a DB.  If it's a table in the DB I have a remote object in 
that class that deals with the different functions like add, modify, and 
delete.  I then assign a button to calling an actionscript function to process 
the DB call using the remoteobject.  The only time I use events is when I need 
to talk to another class (and it has to be a parent or further up the chain.  
Event bubbling does not go to parallel classes.
 
eg.
 

  [!Cdata
 
private function getData( intUserID: number):void
{
  sameasremotequery( intUSerID );
... process data
}
 
private function saveData( intUserID: number):void
{
... call remote object here
}
 

 

  

 

 
There are exceptions to my rule, but for the most part I try to use events 
where they are needed.

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom Classes and Custom Events



Hi all,

The last couple of weeks I wrote my first application in Flex. Today I want to 
refactor it, meaning : using custom classes and custom events.

I have following :

I created an application with a couple of buttons and with a custom component 
(myCustomComp)  in it. This custom component is based on a Vbox an contains :
 - an HBox (mySearchbar) with a textfield and button
 - a datagrid which contains data from a database
 - an HBox (myToolbar) with a button and a label 

The buttons are used for adding, modifying and deleteing records of the 
database. SO I was thinking of creating a custom event (myCustomEvent).

The code I have so far is following :

package events {
 
 import flash.events.Event;
 
 public class myCustomEvent extends Event {
   
public function SpellEvent(type:String) {
 super(type);
}
  
   override public function clone():Event{
var evt:myCustomEvent = new myCustomEvent(type);
return evt;
&nb sp;   }
  
 }
 
}

I was thinking of adding event listners to my buttons. For example my button to 
add a new record will have a addRecordEventListener. In this listener I create 
a new instance of myCustEvent and pass my new record as a parameter.
The same I will do with my button to delete a record.

My question is where and how I should make the difference between the 2 
operations.
I suppose I have to create a new instance of my event and besides my new record 
I also need to pass the type of operation : something like new 
myCustomEvent(newRecord, "addRecord") or new myCustomEvent(newRecord, 
"deleteRecord"). But in this case, how do I process the different operations?

I'm lost and hoping for a clear answer.

Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Re: which one is better to use?

[Scott]

I would agree 100%.  In my tests XML is a lot slower to use and is especially 
seen when there are a large amount of rows being returned.  If this is over the 
Internet then I would for sure use arrayCollection.  XML is a very "wordy" 
structure and probably increases the amount of data being transfered by 30-50%.

I have found that using an arrayCollection of typed objects is much faster for 
me. I don't have the overhead of the XML parser. It tends to depend on the 
amount of data being returned. In some of my cases I am returning 5,000+ rows 
of data. With typed objects this is around 175KB over the pipe. With XML it was 
over 5MB.

RE: [flexcoders] ADG to .csv - Not finding any solutions out there

I tried to do this a while back from the client but ran into an issue where 
flex doesn't have direct access to the file system.  This talks about it here:

Re: [flexcoders] HTML in the List Component?

[Jeffry Houser]

Based on my recent experience w/ this; I gave up trying to display HTML 
Text in a list using the default itemRenderer ( ListItemRenderer if 
memory serves me ). 

In theory, setting ListItemRenderer.label.htmlText should work  In 
practice, it always reverted to 'normal' text when displayed in the 
context of a list.  I built my own itemRenderer using a label and that 
addressed my issue. 

I ran into this issue while building the Flextras 
AutoCompleteComboBox.  The ComboBox drop down is just a list, for those 
that haven't cracked open the code.  The AutoComplete will support 
highlighting in the drop down, based on the filter text.  All baked 
right in. I'll be sending the next beta to beta testers in a few hours.

[flexcoders] Re: strange problem with remote object

[valdhor]

Ooops. Sorry about that.

I don't normally send (Or receive) my data like that; I always use value 
objects (Or Data Transfer Objects or whatever they are called nowadays).

Glad to be of some help.

[flexcoders] Re: which one is better to use?

[valdhor]

I have found that using an arrayCollection of typed objects is much faster for 
me. I don't have the overhead of the XML parser. It tends to depend on the 
amount of data being returned. In some of my cases I am returning 5,000+ rows 
of data. With typed objects this is around 175KB over the pipe. With XML it was 
over 5MB.


HTH.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: HTML in the List Component?

[Brandon Krakowsky]

This is interesting, thanks.  I can't quite get it to work inside an 
itemRenderer.  I tried with MXML and creating it dynamically with AS.  The 
TextArea is still just remains a static height with whitespace or a scrollbar, 
depending on length of String.

Thanks again,
Brandon

[flexcoders] ADG to .csv - Not finding any solutions out there

[Adrian Williams]

Hi All,

   I've been searching for a few hours and I'm coming up short...I'm 
not finding much info out there on ways to export the data contained in 
an ADG to a .csv format (for later import into Excel).  I've seen 
several solutions for doing this with a standard DataGrid, but nothing 
for the Advanced, including searching thru the flexcoders archive.


   I've seen mention of doing this server side (though nothing in 
solutions for C#.NET) but we'd MUCH prefer to do this client-side.  I'm 
wondering if anyone out there knows of a solution for this before I go 
thru the trouble of trying to manipulate the DG export classes out there 
to use an ADG?


Best,
Adrian

[flexcoders] Custom Classes and Custom Events

[secrit.service]

Hi all,

The last couple of weeks I wrote my first application in Flex. Today I
want to refactor it, meaning : using custom classes and custom events.

I have following :

I created an application with a couple of buttons and with a custom
component (myCustomComp)  in it. This custom component is based on a
Vbox an contains :
  - an HBox (mySearchbar) with a textfield and button
  - a datagrid which contains data from a database
  - an HBox (myToolbar) with a button and a label

The buttons are used for adding, modifying and deleteing records of the
database. SO I was thinking of creating a custom event (myCustomEvent).

The code I have so far is following :

package events {

  import flash.events.Event;

  public class myCustomEvent extends Event {

 public function SpellEvent(type:String) {
  super(type);
 }

override public function clone():Event{
 var evt:myCustomEvent = new myCustomEvent(type);
 return evt;
 }

  }

}

I was thinking of adding event listners to my buttons. For example my
button to add a new record will have a addRecordEventListener. In this
listener I create a new instance of myCustEvent and pass my new record
as a parameter.
The same I will do with my button to delete a record.

My question is where and how I should make the difference between the 2
operations.
I suppose I have to create a new instance of my event and besides my new
record I also need to pass the type of operation : something like new
myCustomEvent(newRecord, "addRecord") or new myCustomEvent(newRecord,
"deleteRecord"). But in this case, how do I process the different
operations?

I'm lost and hoping for a clear answer.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Profiling Flex applications for Flash player 10

[Dennis van Nooij]

I followed the instructions from here:

http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Targeting+Flash+Player+10

so I changed flex-config.xml. If I understand it correctly that should make all 
my project compile for Flash Player 10. Which appeared to be working as 
FileReference.save() now showed up in the autocomplete (=Flash Player 1- 
feature).

Anyway, I added the "-target-player=10.0.0" to the additional commandline 
parameters for both projects (first tried library project alone). Now I do not 
get the RTE but the application freezes while showing the loading bar (RTE in 
the background ??)

[flexcoders] bug with remoteObject and ToolTip with loaded flex application

[carloscarvalhar]

Hi,

I have a flex application working fine, but i need to load it into a flash swf 
and it is giving me a lot of trouble.

I get a really strange behavior: my mouse doesn't shows anymore (although i'm 
not changing cursors), remote object's calls doesn't load anymore and tooltips 
don't show.

I think it is happening because, once my flex app is loaded in flash, the 
"root" isn't anymore Application.application.

But i don't have any idea of how to fix it, actually, i wonder if the fix would 
it be in flash or flex...i tried to fix in both, but so far i couldn't reach a 
solution.

Is there a solution for it? Can you point me where to try?


You can check the "normal call" to flex app here:
http://carvalhar.com [working fine]

And here is the problem, where i try to load in flash swf::
http://carvalhar.com/swf/preloader.swf


PS:
my flash loader is pretty simple:
import flash.events.Event;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(Stage.path ? Stage.path : '/swf/meusite.swf'));
this.addChild(loader);
stop();


And this is one of the errors (in flex, after loaded):
TypeError: Error #1009: Não é possível acessar uma propriedade ou um método de 
uma referência de objeto nula.

[flexcoders] Bifff - Behavior Injection Framework for Flex - v0.3 Released

[Sean Clark Hess]

I've just released the next version of Bifff, which provides a way to use
full css selectors to associate behaviors with flex components. For more
information, please read the following.
Release Notes - http://code.seanhess.net/?p=179

Documentation - http://wiki.github.com/seanhess/bifff

For this release, I've written a lot of documentation, have added support
for custom behaviors, and have added a component that can parse a
stylesheet, allowing you to have a much more robust css engine for Flex. For
example, you could use it to set the label of a button, all while using
Bifff's robust css selectors.

Don't forget to join the google group if you're interested in learning more
or trying it out.

is anyone able to profile a Flex application that is targetted for Flash player 
10 ? Our Air application run, debugs and profiles fine but the web version

RE: {Disarmed} [flexcoders] remoteobject and parameters

[Scott]

You need to create a remoteobject in Flex.

 

I use ColdFusion for my backend but it should be similar.  I'm also not
sure if you're using amfphp or not but this is the basis to work from:

 





private function accessRemote():void

{

  phpService.remotePHPFunctionName( variable1, variable2, variable3 );

}

Re: {Disarmed} [flexcoders] How to make "show" event work?

[Paresh M More]

Mark,

If the compoent is in memory then there is no way to call this function when
ever it is loaded( expect 1st time)

Now how to resolve this issue, it can be achived by action script

when ever u want this in memory u can use this function

public function onload():void
{
 // Thing u want to do,
  Alert.show('test')
}

in main application u need to attached the child to parent and then call
this onload function

like
MainForm.addChild(can);
can.onload();


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="912"
height="444" show="Alert.show('test')" >
Let me know if this is still a issue for u

[flexcoders] remoteobject and parameters

[shrike6_7]

Hello,
with a remoteobject how can I send parameters?
If I use:



{text1.text}
{text2.text}



at serverside (php with amf) I have a function setData($arg1,$arg2)

but can I send this parameters in POST and receive it in the $_POST variable?

Thanks

RE:[flexcoders] validator.validateall

[Scott]

Ok, of all the stupid things =/

 

I figured it out after 14 hours of struggle.  I sometimes wish that the
errors Flex provided were a little better than that.  The error message
doesn't make sense to what the error actually is.

 

I have states configured to show different fields based on user input.
One of the fields I'm checking in the validator doesn't exist unless the
state is active.  I commented out that individual validator and it
works.

 

Hopefully this message will help someone in the future to not go through
what I did. ;)

 

 Scott

 



 

I just created a separate program with this information and the
validator fired without error. The problem is, the rest of my code
appears to be ok as well. I tried going through commenting out areas of
my code that were non-critical and I still got the error on my original
code. Anyone know what that error is telling me?

Thanks!
Scott

I've been banging my head on this issue all afternoon/evening...

In all the examples I've seen for this, the Validator.validateall()
seems to be very straight forward.










 










I've tried several different iterations but the Validator.validateAll()
seems to be the problem. (I've tried creating an array and pushing the
objects into the array and I've also tried to manually set the objects
in the call (Validator.validateAll([valid1, valid2, valid3]) but I
always get the following error:

"Error: The source attribute must be specified when the property
attribute is specified.

Anyone know what this error is referring to and/or why I'm getting it?

[flexcoders] Issue with Modules unloading...

[cuttenv]

Hello,
I had an issue with Modules unloading, especially ones that had embedded images 
or animations playing in them. I am still convinced that ANY Module has a hard 
time being unloaded from memory. I was wondering if anyone had a sound solution 
to fixing this issue or ran into it before. I also wanted to encourage you guys 
to vote on this issue because it has been open since last August.  I am pretty 
disappointed with the current state of Modules in Flex, but I hope it can be 
fixed soon.

RE: [flexcoders] RE: mouse events

[Kenneth Sutherland]

Cheers, for reference I ended up doing something similar.  I set up
listeners on canvas 2 for all appropriate mouse events (canvas 2
actually covers canvas 1 completely) then I did a hitPointTest to see if
mouse was over the button, if so then I fired the triggering event from
canvas 1.

 

Thanks Kenneth.

Canvas1 can listen to mainCanvas and test positions to determine if it
really is over itself

Subject: [flexcoders] mouse events

 

I'm having what seems to be a very trivial issue (maybe its just a
Monday morning issue), I have 2 canvas containers inside another canvas.
See picture for explanation. Canvas 2 has a alpha value so you can see
canvas 1, but when you mouse over the area where both canvases mix
together canvas 1 will not get mouse/roll events. Any ideas how to
change this? (canvas 1 has a button that needs mouse events and canvas 2
must listen for the roll events).

Thanks.
